EP 31: Loving Your Husband Well

Jesus calls us to "love your neighbor as yourself," and what closer neighbor do you have than the spouse who shares your bed each night? Loving your husband is something wives need to do not only on special occasions like Valentine's Day and wedding anniversaries, but every minute of every hour of every day, all year long.
